According to reports, he rejected Manchester United’s bids in order to move to Barcelona during the summer transfer window. Neves would have been the ideal choice given Manchester United was in dire need of a defensive midfielder at the time. Later on, they acquired Brazilian superstar Casemiro.

Additionally, Liverpool had a lot of injuries, which made it imperative that they reinforce their midfield. They included Ruben Neves as well, but later added another Brazilian superstar, Arthur, who was on loan from Juventus.
